Montreal based Sardine Productions and Gamerizon Studio have announced a deal with Corus Entertainment’s TELETOON to produce 40 x 11-minute episodes of the action/comedy animated series CHOP CHOP NINJA, based on the enormously successful game franchise created by Gamerizon. The series, following up on the popular CHOP CHOP NINJA CHALLENGE, a series of shorts on TELETOON, is supported by the Shaw Rocket Fund.
Fast-paced CHOP CHOP NINJA follows the comic exploits of Iro, a clumsy and intense ninja, and his three best friends as they defend their Chop Chop Academy while training as Chop Chop ninjas. Iro applies ninja technique, attitude—and, most of all, heart—to everything he does, every minute of every day.
TELETOON, director of content, Athena Georgaklis commented, “TELETOON fans can’t get enough of Chop Chop games and the shorts. Audiences will be delighted with the new adventures of Iro and his gang in the new series.”
Sardine Productions, VP – content, Madeleine Lévesque said, “With the CHOP CHOP NINJA shorts now sold in more than 100 territories, we’re thrilled to follow up with a full series.”
“With the addition of this series to the already popular games, CHOP CHOP NINJA should prove to be a fun multi screen experience that kids can delve into and enjoy. We’re happy to support Sardine’s latest production,” says Shaw Rocket Fund, president and CEO, Agnes Augustin.
